Planet Fitness Complaint

Planet Fitness Dress Code Issue

Planet Fitness has a headgear dresscode that is mostly directed to and works solely AGAINST a certain group of people. Ethnic People. I am natural haired Black woman and my hair fro's up huge with sweat, in which I usually wear my Shpitzel in order to tame it during this activity. I was asked to leave today after being a member for four years because I refused to remove it. Supposedly head scarfs and wraps are in the category of possible gang-related bandannas. I was told this policy gears more towards the aspect of intimidation. So while buff built guys can work out in fitted caps and look COOL (Oh and non-intimidating), I have to simply look CRAZY because my stylish head wrap is too intimidating. I believe if all cultures wore these particular headgears (wraps, scarfs, and due-rags) this wouldn't be an issue. But since due-rags that are, undoubtedly, NON-GANG-RELATED but more EXCLUSIVELY BLACK-RELATED, and headwraps, scarfs, kufi's, Patka's, Shptizel's, and so on are more catered to the ethnic crowd, this isn%u2019t recognized as an innocent head piece, or even appreciated, for that matter. PF has a high number of ethnic members that helps keep their business in BUSINESS. So if they wish to stay in business, at least with a good name, that preposterous discriminating rule needs to be exempt from, or negotiated within their dress code policy.
